Dear god. Rudy Gobert measured wingspan at 7'8.5". Andre Drummond at 7'6.25".

[Split T]

Is standing reach measured flat footed? Can Bamba grab the rim on his toes? Crazy

On another note, can anyone tell me why Keita Bates-Diop isn't considered a better prospect? He's 6'7 but measured with a 7'3.5 wingspan. He put up like 19/9 shot 36% from 3, blocks shots, plays D. I've never really watched him. The stats and measurements scream Marion and could be the kind of 4 you want next to Ayton. Is he a good athlete?

I went back 15 years and no one's measured longer. Gobert was the only one close.

Did Boban measure in a draft? He may not have the wingspan but his standing reach is crazy.. What was Manute's wingspan?

[Cap]

What was Manute's wingspan?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manute_Bol

Bol possessed exceptionally long limbs (inseam 49 inches (120 cm)) and large hands and feet (size 16 1/2). His arm span, at 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m), is (as of 2013) the longest in NBA history, and his reach was 10 feet 5 inches (3.18 m).

[Split T]

8 foot 6 wingspan? That's insane

[Cap]

10’5” standing reach. I don’t think that would quite allow him to dunk without leaving the floor, but darn close.

sucks to be sacramento

[SDC]

saw a lot of doncic last year, and becuz of his below average speed and athleticism, he, like another bball savant ( rubio), were poor finishers around the basket.

7'3" Serbian giraffe Boban Marjanovic. Owner of a 7'8" wingspan and 9'7" standing reach

So for perspective. Boban towers over almost everyone. Bamba is not as tall but he's got a longer wingspan and a higher standing reach.

Couple thoughts:

When did Bagley pull out of the combine?
Bamba is huge
Jaren Jackson and Wendell Carter measured really well.
Other good measures:
Bates-Diop 6'9 with a 7'3 wingspan
Shake Milton is 6'6 with a 7'0 wingspan
SGA is also 6'6 with a 7'0 wingspan
Khyri Thomas is 6'4 with a 6'11 wingspan
Troy Brown is 6'7 with a 6'11 wingspan
Michael Porter is 6'11 and jontay is 7'0 rounded up for both

Bad measures:
No surprise but Trae is one of the 3 smallest players in the draft at 6'2 with a 6'3 wingspan, standing reach under 8'0
Rawle Alkins is only 6'4 with a 6'8 wingspan
Landry Shamet was rumored to have a near 7'0 wingspan but it's 6'6

If Troy Brown can shoot, he'd be really nice. The rest of his game isn't all that unlike Doncic. Not as advanced but he's got PG skills in a forward body. Maybe more Iggy.

Troy Brown should've went back to college IMO.

Why? For teams sake or for his sake? He's a mid 1st round pick right now, that's hard to pass up. Rarely do players go back and improve their stock once they reach that level.

His sake. I think he's gonna in way over his head, very good chace he is out of the league before his rookie contract expires. I just dont see why he went pro. Archie Goodwin-esque.

I don't see that at all. Archie was all athlete, no skill. Troy Brown is very skilled.

I don't think Brown is nearly the athlete Archie was.

[Split T]

He's not, but he's vastly more skilled.

On another note, two guys that are impressing at the combine with their play and athletic testing: Donte Divencenzo and Kevin Heurter. I thought both would go back to school, but they both may have moved into round 1. Options at 31 or maybe 16 if we really love them. Divencenzo had the highest vertical at 42 inches and Heurter measures out really well, tested well athletically and is probably a top 3 pure shooter in the draft.
